Dear MAASU Community, My name is Victoria Yu and I am the Chairwoman of the Midwest Asian American Students Union (MAASU) for this academic year of 2014-2015. I hope you have enjoyed your summer and that you’re excited for the school year ahead! The MAASU Executive Coordinating Committee (ECC) has been diligently working this summer to bring out the best in MAASU for you. MAASU is committed to provide support and resources for students to work towards social change in their communities, assist in connecting APIA student organizations in the Midwest and promote leadership development through programs such as MAASU Mixers, the Leadership Retreat and the Spring Conference. This newsletter serves to offer more information about MAASU, provide various resources and highlight unique programs from our member schools and affiliate organizations. Be expecting a newsletter every month! On behalf of the ECC, I wish you all the best on your studies this school year. Please do not hesitate to let me or other ECC members know how we can best meet your needs and interests. I encourage you to take our SurveyMonkey for feedback on how MAASU can be improved. We look forward to working and connecting with you and your organizations. Best Regards, Victoria Yu Chairwoman, MAASU [email protected] “Love isn't about what we did yesterday; it's about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after.” – Grace Lee Boggs
